I went to the local Apple store and they said that they couldn't do anything. I called 1800MYAPPLE per the request of the Apple store and they said that they are no longer available. I understand that I could re-format with Lion, but I was just hoping to get a replacment USB drive with Snow Leopard.
MacBook Air, Mac OS X (10.6.8), 11" Late 2010 Model
I had occasion to need the very same thing (mind you, it's been over a year ago). I got nowhere with going through normal sales channels of Apple. I called tech support/AppleCare, and they were able to send me a replacement for a nominal charge. I don't know whether the situation was helped by the fact that i was still covered by AppleCare at the time. You may want to try going through parts ordering, versus online Apple Store.
Then there is also eBay. I see that a few sellers have them there.
Here is a link. I think this can be done by a tech savy user.
RFFS,
I think the OP is looking for a System/Recovery Disk (USB drive on 2010 model)
One of these....
You are right, somehow I posted to the wrong question!?!?
Is it possible to get a replacement USB drive.
